Impact Thompson shot five-under or better in two of his first three rounds at Sedgefield Country Club and entered Sunday sixth in the leaderboard. However, his final round was ruined by consecutive bogeys on the 17th and 18th holes, which moved him from 81st to 77th in the FedExCup Standings, just outside the top-70 to qualify for the playoffs. Thompson's 12.46 strokes gained in approach play was best in the field, and he also finished T1 in GIR, though his 4.55 strokes lost on the green was ranked 77th out of the 81 players who made the cut. Since he's not in the playoffs, the next chance that Thompson can tee off on the PGA Tour is at the Biltmore Championship Asheville that starts Sept. 17.
